How does this vacuum rate in terms of noise?

None of these answers seemed very clear to me. The noise level is quite impressive. It is very decently quiet on the lowest setting and yet you still get very strong suction out it. On the highest setting, it is about as loud as most any vacuum. (which is still not bad). If I had a decibel reader, I would give you a more detailed and accurate answer.

I would say that it is average. I'm sensitive to sound, and I don't ha e a problem with it for the time it takes for a cleaning, but it is by no means as quiet as some super deluxe models. I like the suction and the self propelled sweeper the most. Very worth every penny.

I would rate the noise level as medium. Not exactly noisy, but not whisper quiet. It's a great machine. Very efficient and worth the money. Great suction power.

It's actually fairly quiet. More of a medium-loud whirr than a loud, raucous sound.

It depends. It sounds like a regular vacuum cleaner but there is a bar for suction control. The higher the suction control is on, the louder it sounds. When it is all the way up, it is loud and sounds high pitched. I still love the vacuum cleaner.

it sounds like a normal vacuum to me, it is not what I would call a quiet machine.

It's not terribly loud. My shop vac is noisier. Most all of the tools it would be used with are going to be noisier. Good hearing protection should be used regardless of what dust collector is used I have owned mine for two years now and it is performing very well. Much less dust than my previous unit which is why I upgraded. It handles a couple tools at the same time very well. I recommend it. Might cost a bit more than others but worth it.

Mine is about half as loud as a regular, larger, corded 110 volt vacuum cleaner. If a phone were ringing nearby, you'd here it. If were ringer farther away (say 30 feet), you might not hear it.

Yes, it does make noise, but no louder than any normal vacuum cleaner you would use on a rug in your house. However, IF you want a handheld vacuum that REALLY sucks, this is the one you want. No battery powered hand held vacuum can come even close to it.

Its pretty good, actually! Its not the MOST silent vacuum I've ever owned, but the power to noise ratio far surpasses previous vacuums. Usually with less noise comes a less powerful vacuum. And it has more of a low tone, so it's much less obnoxious. I definitely dont feel like Im disturbing my neighbors. Come to think of it, my roommate has told me, with his bedroom door closed, he can barely hear anything if Im vacuuming the living room.

Yeah i would say it's a tad loud. Especially if you use the vacuume. That being said, it's literally never crossed my mind before now.

It quieter that a vacuum cleaner. It should be quiet enough considering the restaurant noise level.

I don't feel it's too noisy at all. It's about the same as other vacuums, plus it works better.

The robots we have, (five of them), are not noisy at all compared to a regular vacuum. We can have one running in the same room with us while watching television with just a slight increase in volume. If I sleep late, my wife can run one in another room without disturbing me. (Provided the door is shut). I would judge that the db level is just a little above that of a dishwasher. For the value received, the robot sound is very tolerable

I don't know exactly, but it is loud. Not ear-splitting loud though. I wouldn't let the noise level deter me from buying this vacuum. Like most of the smaller vacuums, it runs a bit hot, but it doesn't bother me as I usually stop before doing all of my vacuuming.

Needs to be plugged in, In terms of noise as others responded it does get quite loud, It's about as loud as a regular vacuum cleaner.

I found it not as loud as my other sweeper, which I didn't think was bad at all (Eureka, Mac). However, I have a home. not an apartment. Hope that helps.

I don't think it's as loud as a normal full-size vacuum cleaner, but it's not quiet either. I'd say it's noise level is pretty standard for dust busters.

I don't think it makes any more noise than a regular vacuum. Even if it does....it's because it has such great suction power!

I can't tell you in decibels, but my experience is that it is typical for a cordless vac. Quieter than a shop vac. Would buy this again in a heartbeat, the only thing I wish it had was a constant "on" switch in addition to the trigger switch.
